Selling more than 25 million records, there is no denying the popularity of Spandau Ballet.

The band will take Belfast's Odyssey Arena by storm when they take to the stage on March 4.

Their turn at the Odyssey is part of a 12-date arena tour in March and will include a special guest DJ set by Rusty Egan.

The band have been plagued by controversy throughout their history after a nasty legal battle over song royalties left the band seemingly beyond repair.

Their global success in the 1980s was tainted by the decade-long fall-out between Gary Kemp, Tony Hadley, Steve Norman and John Keeble.

Thankfully for fans one of the most high-profile rifts in showbusiness was mended and the band are now embarking on their first world tour since they got back together.

Speaking about the decision to make up, Gary said: “I didn’t want to have places on the planet that I can’t visit in case I bump into someone.

“I think it’s better to reach out and heal the situation.

“If it was just a friend and our friendship had collapsed, we probably wouldn’t have ever seen one another again. But our music is like having children, really. We had something special that we could create together and I knew we could heal our differences through our music.”

But fans should put the disputes of the past to the back of their minds and enjoy seeing the band together again on stage in Belfast.

To remind yourself just how great they are, here's an old favourite for you to listen to.
